Transcript

Main comic (single panel):

A man and a woman lie close together, apparently in bed, against a magenta/pink background. The woman wears round glasses and raises a fist.

Man: "Nope. Elbow in the ear isn't sexy."

Woman (with glasses, raising her fist): "I've got a solution! The sexy is just bound up in a dimension so small that it can't be detected."

Caption (below panel): Never have sex with a theoretical physicist.

Votey:

A close-up of the woman's face, looking downcast/disappointed.

Woman: "Maybe if you would expend more energy."

A single-panel SMBC comic against a hot-pink background. A man and a woman lie close together in bed. The woman, wearing round glasses, raises a fist enthusiastically. The man says, "Nope. Elbow in the ear isn't sexy." The woman replies, "I've got a solution! The sexy is just bound up in a dimension so small that it can't be detected." A caption beneath reads: "Never have sex with a theoretical physicist." The joke: she explains away the missing sexiness using string-theory-style extra-dimension physics jargon. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the woman's face looking downcast and disappointed, saying, "Maybe if you would expend more energy."
